How do i write an installation wizard and install my delphi application?

Im looking to write an installation wizard for my delphi application.

It has to look professional like a real installation wizard

On installation, I want to add the program to the add/remove programs

I know how to add it to start menu, desktop and quick launch and these options should be included in the wizard.

Also, if someone has installed, i dont want to show the wizard.

Im trying to put a registration requirement on the use of my program

Perhaps someone could create a demo installation for a Hello world application?

Thank you

Ahhh dude! Why write it?

Get Inno Setup Compiler, (written in Delphi I believe), and it's free! Does all you want and more with professional looking installs. It is programmed using a script language which is not all that difficult and good community support.
